We believe children learn well through play with the support of experienced, qualified, interested adults who can scaffold and extend their learning and develop language. The children are introduced to new vocabulary in their daily  ‘word aware’ lessons. Guided activities with an adult and free flow play opportunities allow children to embed new learning.  Children have the opportunity to learn both indoors and out as they have daily access to the outside classroom where they can investigate the outside world.The children’s learning is further enriched by visitors to the school and trips out, providing exciting first-hand experiences and stimulating opportunities.

We use Development Matters to accompany and deliver our planning, which you can view by clicking on the link below:
